Hi De30M

You seem to be just the man I need to talk to

My intention was to buy a new F80 M3. As an interim measure in April 2013 I took delivery of an M135i. On release of the M3 and M4 I went for a test drive and found the car awesome, but since then have not managed to find the motivation to get rid of the M135i, which is just so much fun to drive.

Having had an M3 and now an M135i how would you say they compare? Costs aside, which was/is the most fun to drive over the long term. What I love about the M135i is its Jekyll and Hyde nature......quiet, comfortable cruiser one minute, agile, shrieking back road stormer the next. I'm wondering if that's a trick an M3 can pull off with anything like the same alacrity?
